Otter signs as law limits on teachers - Sat, 20 Apr 2013 PST
BOISE – Five months after Idaho voters resoundingly rejected laws limiting schoolteacher contract rights, Idaho lawmakers resurrected many of them. Gov. Butch Otter signed five controversial bills into law to revive parts of Proposition 1, including limiting negotiated teacher contract terms to just one year and allowing school districts to cut teacher pay without declaring financial emergencies. Four of the five bills have emergency clauses making them effective immediately. One, the bill limiting contract terms to one year, is retroactive to Nov. 21, 2012 – the day voters’ Nov. 7 decision took effect.

Time short for cabin site renters - Wed, 17 Apr 2013 PST
BOISE – Idaho’s top elected officials quietly heard a presentation Tuesday on what happens if longtime renters of state-owned lake cabin sites just walk away from their leases as rates continue increasing. A court decision last summer removed protections granted to people who rent lake cabin sites, including those on Priest Lake, from competitive auctions when their leases come up for renewal. At the same time, Idaho is in the process of getting out of the cabin-site rental business, through land exchanges, auctions or other moves that will keep income flowing to the state’s endowment. In the midst of all that, new state appraisals on the 354 Priest Lake cabin sites came in an average of 84 percent higher for next year, with some more than doubling.

Otter vetoes SB 1080 amid conflicts over bill’s funding - Tue, 16 Apr 2013 PST
BOISE – Changes in Idaho law designed to make sure public corruption and open meeting law violations by county officials are adequately investigated have been vetoed by a governor who actually supports the changes. Gov. Butch Otter, caught in a spat between House leaders and the state attorney general’s office, vetoed SB 1080 last week because funding for the new program was yanked in a separate bill. “I agree with this legislation’s intent,” Otter wrote in his veto message. “Unfortunately, the decision by the House of Representatives not to take up the … appropriation in SB 1195 makes my veto necessary.”
Funding spat leads to veto - Mon, 15 Apr 2013 PST

Gun laws make Idaho a haven for firearms supporters - Mon, 15 Apr 2013 PST
BOISE – As the nation remains locked in debate over expanding background checks and other measures aimed at stemming gun violence, Idaho lawmakers this year pushed to expand the state’s already-friendly posture on gun rights. “There’s little doubt that Idahoans are very supportive of the Second Amendment,” said House Speaker Scott Bedke, R-Twin Falls. “I think we made significant progress on that front.”

A Coeur d'Alene home and mold inspection is no different than a Hayden home inspection, or a home inspection in Post Falls. The difference is in the home inspector. Remember, In Idaho, anyone with a flashlight and a stepladder may call themselves a “home inspector”. Beware of self-proclaimed “certifications”! Only InterNACHI Home Inspectors must successfully pass an examination before being accepted and Certified; over 70% of the applicants fail the exam. Many other inspector "societies" simply allow applicants to send in their membership fee, with no prior experience or testing.
